WHAT IS SHOWIT? +

Showit is an easy-to-use, drag-and-drop website builder that requires no coding. You have the freedom to customize fonts, colors, layouts, images, text—really anything, all within a click of a button. Showit also integrates with WordPress for powerful blogging capabilities and includes built-in SEO tools.

WHAT DO I NEED TO GET STARTED? +

In order to get started, you will need the following:

  • A paid Showit subscription (Starts at $19-34/month. Get your first month free here.)
  • A custom domain name. We recommend GoDaddy.
  • Optional but highly recommended: Professional, on-brand photos.
  • Google Chrome browser installed on your computer.
ARE THE FONTS AND IMAGES INCLUDED? +

Fonts: Our templates include both paid fonts and free fonts. Some fonts require individual licenses for each user, and this will be noted—including links to purchase your own font copy/license—in the installation instructions for each template.

Images: Some of our templates include placeholder images from photographers that are non-transferable, and some templates include free stock images you are free to keep and use if you wish. This will be noted in the installation instructions for each template.

IS SHOWIT SEO FRIENDLY? +

Yes, most definitely! Showit has built-in SEO tools to help you get found on search engines. Each webpage includes page titles and meta descriptions, as well as image naming capabilities with keywords to optimize your site.

CAN I REALLY CUSTOMIZE EVERYTHING? +

You bet! Although you can keep your template exactly the same if you wish, you have the freedom to customize your fonts, colors, text, images, and even the layout. The Showit platform is intuitive and easy to use, getting your site up and running in no time.

WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT IS INCLUDED IF I GET STUCK? +

Your template purchase includes our library of educational tutorials, and we are here to support you with any additional questions that may come up. Feel free to reach out via email at any time!

Your Showit subscription also includes access to Showit's incredible support team right within your dashboard. I’ve personally met their team in Arizona and can attest to their level of care firsthand.

Showit’s help docs also cover every question imaginable.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FULL TEMPLATE AND A ONE-PAGE TEMPLATE? +

Our One-Page website templates offer an affordable solution to newer businesses without much content to fill an entire website. Our One-Page templates are designed with the same attention to detail and thoughtful strategy as our full website templates—they're just smaller!

Instead of having a multi-page site, you have a one-page site that includes everything a full site has, only in different sections on the same page instead of those sections being individual pages.

IF I BUY A TEMPLATE WON'T MY WEBSITE LOOK LIKE EVERYONE ELSE'S? +

Our templates encourage you to showcase your unique brand and personality through a strategically designed website. The Showit platform makes it incredibly easy for you to customize your website as much as you'd like, and our pre-designed templates include built-in proven high-conversion layouts that help to elevate your brand and website and present yourself at the top of your industry. Check out how our customers have customized their templates to create uniquely beautiful websites here.

WHAT IS THE TECH SETUP PROCESS LIKE WITH SHOWIT? +

The tech setup is made easy with Showit. Showit is your website host, and your monthly subscription covers your hosting, along with access to their amazing support team and the use of their easy drag-and-drop builder. The only thing you'll need outside of Showit is your domain, which you can purchase through GoDaddy or the domain provider of your choice. Any other third party integrations will also be done outside of Showit but can usually be integrated such as Scheduling apps, Client Management, Email Marketing, etc.

DO I NEED A DOMAIN? HOW DOES THAT WORK? +

When you’re ready to launch your site, you will need a domain. We suggest GoDaddy. Showit support helps you through the process of configuring your domain.

DO YOU OFFER REFUNDS? +

Due to the digital nature and immediate delivery of templates, no refunds or exchanges are accepted. Our goal is for you to be 100% satisfied and we will do everything we can to ensure you're happy with your purchase. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out via email and we will get back to you within 24 hours. By purchasing any AFD template, you agree to our Refund Policy and Terms & Conditions.
